Chapter 222: The Three Orcs in Action
This is almost the end of the meeting. In any case, the hunters were founded to fight against night raids. Estes has never been a passive person, no matter what she does, she likes to hold the initiative firmly in her own hands.
If it were anyone else, she would definitely plan to wait and wait when she didn't know where the Night Raid organization's stronghold was, but Estes didn't even think about waiting, the only thing she wanted to do was to take the initiative!
You want to hibernate? Then I'll force you out!
Just as Night Sky Star came to see Black Pupil, Estes was invited by the minister. Because he still had the rights of the minister, Estes did not have a showdown with him, and after going to the banquet, the minister gave Estes an idea - to blame!
He had Estes' men attack some of the civilian officials who were opposing him, and then dropped leaflets from the night raid group on the spot. The civil officials who can let the minister ask Estes to be protected by a group of powerful guards, which can be said to be unbreakable by non-emperors. While it may make others suspicious at first, as long as the civilian officials who are getting stronger and stronger in the guard are killed, this basin will be firmly attached to the head of the night raid group.
If you want to prove your innocence, the people of the Night Raid Organization must stand out from the shadows, which is simply killing two birds with one stone!
Estes thought about it for a while, and felt that there was nothing wrong with it, so he agreed directly. Of course, she didn't move the Night Sky Star and the others, so she didn't plan to sue them from the beginning, but directly gave the order to the Three Beasts.
Nightstar couldn't have imagined that what he was worried about was still happening right under his nose.
When he found out that the Three Orcs were missing, it was already three days later. In these three days. Every day, a civilian official who was heavily protected by guards is killed. When Night Sky Star learned the news, he didn't blame Estes. Instead, he rushed to the fourth civil servant, who had been targeted by the minister.
Suburbs of the Imperial Capitalββ
"This village is still so choked, it's obviously a rich country"
In the simple carriage passing by among the poor villagers, the old man with a righteous face sighed in a depressed mood when he saw the situation in the village.
beside him. is a long-haired beauty with a spear and a hat, and she is also his proud, martial arts daughter. It's not safe along the way, thieves are frequent, if it weren't for the daughter of a martial arts master, it would be a question whether his old bones could get close to the imperial capital safely.
"It's so great to worry about the people like this, and to answer the father of the imperial capital, which can be called the nest of poisonous snakes!"
This old man is the former minister Jolly, who returned to his hometown because of his advanced age, but unexpectedly, the successor minister Earnest actually made a mess of the empire!
"Now is not the time for seclusion, the country will not be a country, if it will come to this point. The old man and the minister are incompatible! β
"I'll protect my father." Jolly's daughter, Spia, tightened the spear in her hand and said with a smile.
"I really gave birth to a good daughter!" Looking at his proud daughter, Jolly couldn't help but joke, "It's too brave to even find a mother-in-law, it's really nerve-wracking"
The daughters are in their twenties and have no place to go, so it's no wonder Jolly said that.
Spiya's face immediately turned rosy, and her expression became flustered, "Then it has nothing to do with this matter!" β
Obviously, Sbiya was also depressed that she couldn't even find a partner, and the whole person fell into a state of loss.
"Besides, I'm not heroic or anything, but I just know a little bit of marksmanship, if I find a good partner. I think I'll be able to get married right away."
"Sorry"
Suddenly, Spiya's expression became stern, and her eyes were filled with a sharp light.
Jolly followed her gaze and saw three unidentified figures in black uniforms appear in front of the road.
"Is it a thief again? No matter how bad the law and order is, there must be a limit! Jolly said angrily.
Sbiya felt from the momentum of the other party that it was very different from the thieves she had encountered along the way. With a solemn face, she opened the door of the carriage and walked out with a spear in hand.
"Break them separately as before!"
The guards rushed forward with their weapons in hand, intending to fight the thieves as they had done before. A sense of foreboding arose in Spia's heart.
"Don't be careless!"
Spiya took a position. Rushed up with the guards.
For such a battle, the three men in black did not have the slightest nervousness.
"Daidas."
The silver-haired middle-aged man at the head disdained to do it himself. Instead, he shouted to the man next to him.
"Uh-oh."
The man who was called was not the least dissatisfied, and he grinned and pulled out the double-edged axe behind his back.
"The Emperor's ToolsβTwo Great Axes. Belwack! β
Just a moment of waving. The resulting air blade cut off more than a dozen guards! Only the strongest Sbiya escaped, but in order to defend herself, the spear in her hand was broken in two. Even so, the abdomen was hit hard, and he knelt on the ground weakly holding the wound.
"It's too strong, what the hell are they?"
Just when she was holding on not to lose consciousness, the most petite teenager among the three walked up to her and squatted down and said, "Eh~ Sister, you are very powerful, you can still not die under the attack of Daidas, I haven't met a master like you for a long time." β
The boy licked his lips as if he had encountered prey, and pulled out the short knife from his arms, "But if you think about what will happen next, maybe it is better to die!" β
At this moment, Jolly, who had already been stunned in the carriage, was kicked out. Falling to the ground, he didn't care about the pain in his body, looked at the face of the silver-haired middle-aged man, and finally recognized him: "You are an imperial soldier!" β
That's right, when Jolly was a minister, Liva was still an active Imperial soldier, and even when he was able to become an Imperial general later, Jolly appreciated and promoted. It's just that after many years, when the two meet again, their identities are completely different.
"Exactly." Liwa bowed to him very gentlemanly, "I admire your political skills very much. β
This sentence came from the heart, and the more he did it, the more Jolly felt that something was wrong, "In that case, why are you still eyeing me?!" β
"Because," said Liva, straightening up, his answer was short: "The master's orders are absolute in any way!" β
Just as he was about to behead his former benefactor, a man who wasn't in the plan appeared.
"Night Star? I remember that you shouldn't be on standby in the imperial capital at this time? β
Liva frowned, unhappy that he had interrupted him.
Nightstar didn't answer, just looked at the corpses all over the ground, and the anger burned in his chest.
"The minister asked you to do this?"
Of course, Nightstar knew that it was Estes who gave the order himself, but he was still protecting her in his words.
Although Liva was very angry with Night Skystar's tone, considering that everyone was a colleague who worked together, he endured it and just gave face to Estes as the master.
"That's right, Minister Joly's political ability is too strong, and he is a thorn in the side of the current minister, so it must be removed."
Well, in fact, Liva also knew that Estes would give this kind of order because of the minister, after all, the relationship between her and the minister was originally this kind of mutual use, and it was not the first time that Liva had encountered such a thing.
His answer made Nightstar's mood feel much more relaxed, and he could deceive himself into saying that Estes was right, and it was the ministers who were wrong.
Night Star will not stop Estes from killing people, but she will never be allowed to kill innocents indiscriminately, let alone become a knife in the hands of others!
It seems that you have to do your best to adjust ~ teach. Otherwise, even if she is completely attacked, with her current character and behavior, she will be rejected by other women. However, the object of fusing the Holy Spirit Heart after Estes has completely conquered it, and I believe that the fit should be very high.
"Liva, Niou, Daidas, go back and tell Minister SΓΉ Earnest that Minister Joly is dead."
The implication of Nightstar's words was clear, Minister Jolly and his seriously injured daughter were saved.
Liva took a deep breath, finally unable to bear his repeated "provocations".
"Night Sky Star, for everyone's sake, I can ignore what you did just now, but my forbearance is not your capital to gain an inch!"
"Oh? So what do you think my capital is? β
Liva squinted slightly, and his momentum became fierce. As the strongest and oldest of the three beasts, he also has his own pride, even if the other two who are also three beasts are not taken seriously by him, let alone the night star, a young man who doesn't know where to come from.
"What do you think can be called capital for us people other than great strength?! This world belongs to the strong!! Only the strong can do whatever they want, and the weak only deserve to be dominated and ruled by the strong!!!!!! β
Liwa said excitedly and loudly.
This is also what he realized when he was rescued from prison by Estes!
"Strong?" Night Sky Star nodded thoughtfully, "So in this way, you think you are very strong?" β
"At least better than you!"
Once a wise and brave general, he was later rescued from prison by Estes and obtained the only forty-eight powerful weapons in this world that cannot be copied, it can be said that except for a few famous imperial envoys such as Estes and General Bude, Liwa does not take anyone seriously!
This is his self-confidence, and it is also the capital he is proud of!
Only then, what happened in front of his eyes completely destroyed his self-confidence (to be continued......
